Pat Brophy felt like she had been left to fend for herself when management told tenants at Mount Olive Manor I to evacuate their apartments after Hurricane Sandy tore the roof off the structure and water poured in.

While repairs to the roof and walls were under way, Brophy and 59 other tenants of the subsidized Manor I for low and moderate-income senior citizens could not return to their residences until mid-December. Brophy said her apartment and others were found in grimy states because of wall reconstruction and she discovered that her Keurig coffee maker was stolen in her absence.
